1 Laparoscopic Weight Loss Surgery (Bariatric Surgery) A simple guide to help answer your questions
2 Weight problems are growing in the US More than 100 million Americans are overweight Half of these people are more than 50 lbs overweight 15%-20% of these people are more than 100 lbs overweight Each year, this number is growing
3 WHY ARE WE SO OVERWEIGHT?? Consumption of foods high in calories (excessive sugar and fat) Consumption of too much food (large portions) Not enough exercise/sedentary lifestyle Inheriting fat genes from our parents/relatives
4 Fast Food has become a daily routine for most Americans
5 Obesity has become one of the most widespread health problems in the world. Obesity is responsible for causing many diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. It also leads to premature death in individuals who are severely overweight.
6 Obesity - The Size of the Problem Prevalence of Overweight Adults United States 65% Australia 59% Russia 54% United Kingdom 51% Brazil 36% China 15%
7 Complex Disease Genetic Behavioral Environmental Obesity is a complicated disease. Many things contribute to being overweight including eating and exercise habits, whether your parents were overweight, and the overall environment that you live in. Any solution to weight problems must address each of these issues.
8 What is obesity? Who is considered overweight? In the 1950 s, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company developed height and weight tables which listed normal weight ranges for height and body type. These weights were mathematically determined and were based on how long people lived and how many medical problems that they developed. People who fell within the normal ranges statistically had longer lives and fewer problems with their health.
9 What is obesity? Who is considered overweight? Today, rather than using tables and body types to determine who is overweight, we use a simple calculation called Body Mass Index or BMI. BMI relates a person s weight to their height.
10 How to calculate your BMI Body Mass Index = (BMI) Weight Height 2 Weight is in Kilograms (Kg) and height is measured in meters squared(m 2 ) There are 2.2 pounds in each kilogram and 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
11 There are also charts to help you determine your BMI. The chart is read by locating your height at the top of the table and your weight on the left side. The point on the table were the two meet is your BMI.
12 BMI Chart Height (ft'in") 5'0" 5'2" 5'4" 5'6" 5'8" 5'10" 6'0" 6'2" 6'4" 6'6" Height (in) Weight (lbs) BMI (kg/m2) Overweight Obese Morbidly Obese
13 Weight guidelines Overweight BMI more than 25 kg/m 2 Obese BMI 30 to 34.9 kg/m 2 Severely Obese Morbidly Obese BMI 35 to 39.9 kg/m 2 BMI more than 40 kg/m 2 or BMI 35 to 39.9 kg/m 2 with associated medical problems (diabetes, high blood pressure, etc)
14 Morbid Obesity When obesity is so severe that it threatens one s health and affects the lifespan of the individual
15 Why should I lose weight?? 400,000 Americans die prematurely each year due to obesity-related diseases. This number is increasing rapidly and soon obesity will replace tobacco and smoking as the number one preventable health problem in the United States.
16 Obesity increases the chance that you will develop one of the following diseases: High blood pressure Diabetes mellitus Elevated Cholesterol Arthritis Sleep Apnea Gallstones Stroke or Heart Attack Cancer Uterus, cervix, prostate, colon/rectal, gallbladder, breast
17 Other health problems related to obesity Death rates increase at least 200% for men and women who are significantly overweight (more than 50 pounds)
18 It is predicted that obesity over the course of the next 20 years will be the number one health problem throughout the world
19 How can I lose weight and keep it off??
20 There are two accepted methods to treat obesity: Medical Treatment Surgical
21 Medical Treatment of Obesity Diet low in calories, fat and carbohydrates Exercise 40 minutes 5 times per week Behavior Modification eat 3 sensible meals per day, avoid snacking Drugs/Prescription medications Stimulants/appetite suppressants Antidepressants (Meridia ) Reduce fat absorption (Xenical )
22 Disadvantages of medical treatment: Most patients (95-97%) regain most or all of the weight that was lost within 2-5 years following diet or drug treatment The average amount of weight loss is relatively small pounds Drug therapy may be associated with severe complications (Fen-Phen and heart disease).
23 Disadvantages of medical treatment: Most insurance companies do not cover costs associated with these programs Very difficult for most people to maintain these programs in the long term Yo-Yo effect of many different programs leads to significant weight fluctuations
24 Surgical Treatment of Obesity Surgeons who specialize in treating obesity are known as Bariatric Surgeons. Bariatric surgery encompasses all of the various operations which have been designed to cause a significant and longlasting weight-loss in severely obese patients.
25 The term Bariatric Surgery Comes from the Greek words baros meaning weight and iatreia meaning medical treatment
26 Surgical Treatment of Obesity Surgery for the treatment of obesity is only appropriate for those individuals who are considered Morbidly Obese. Because of the possible risks and complications of surgery, it is not appropriate for individuals who do not meet this criteria to undergo weight-loss surgery.
27 Who Qualifies for Consideration for Surgery? Patients with a BMI of 40 or greater (roughly 100 pounds overweight) Patients with BMI of 35 (roughly 80 pounds overweight) or greater who also suffer from a severe medical condition related to obesity (sleep apnea, diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure) A patient who is prepared and willing to commit to the lifestyle changes that will be necessary following surgery
28 Who Qualifies for Consideration for Surgery? They should have no known endocrine (glandular) or metabolic causes for their severe obesity. They should be of sound mind to understand the risks of the operation and the commitment which is necessary to be successful. They should be able to commit to regular follow-up visits with their doctor, as well as a sound diet and exercise program after surgery. Candidates need to have attempted medical weight loss treatments without success.
29 Who is not eligible for surgery? The following individuals are not eligible to have weight-loss surgery: History of substance abuse, eating disorder, or major psychiatric problem which is untreated and/or unresolved Patients who are too ill or too high a risk for surgery Women who may become pregnant soon
30 Surgical Treatment of Obesity Bariatric surgery has been actively practiced by surgeons in the U.S. since the 1960 s. Recently, techniques in Laparoscopic and Minimally Invasive surgery have caused a dramatic increase in the number of weight loss surgeries being performed in the United States.
31 Surgical Treatment of Obesity According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), patients who have been unsuccessful at losing weight using medical treatments such as Diet, Exercise and medications, surgery is the treatment of choice and the only treatment that has been proven to be successful in the long term ( more than 10 years).
32 Why would anyone have surgery to lose weight? Most people are not successful losing weight with diets (up to 97% are unsuccessful) As someone becomes more overweight, the risk of developing other serious diseases dramatically increases Surgery has proven to be the MOST effective method to treat severe obesity
33 Types of Surgery Purely Restrictive Restricts the amount of food that you can consume and therefore decreases the number of calories eaten. This type of procedure does not alter the digestive or absorptive function of the intestine
34 Types of Surgery Mostly Restrictive The majority of the weight loss is caused by the restriction of food and calorie intake, however a small component of the procedure is directed at limiting calorie absorption from the intestine
35 Types of Surgery Mostly Malabsorptive A large percentage of the small intestine is bypassed leading to poor absorption of the food which is eaten, especially fats. Food passes through the body without being digested.
36 Restrictive Operations Horizontal Gastroplasty Silastic Ring Gastroplasty Vertical Banded Gastroplasty
37 The three operations pictured on the previous slide are performed much less frequently today than in the past because of disappointing long-term weight loss and complications in some patients
38 Restrictive Operations Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band
39 Adjustable Gastric Band The Lap-Band Adjustable Gastric Band device was approved by the FDA for use in the United States in June of It has proven to be a simple, yet effective weight loss tool.
40 Lap-Band Adjustable Gastric Band Fill Port Portion of Band which wraps around stomach The Lap-Band is made from silicone (plastic)
41 Adjustable Gastric Band The Band is placed around the top of the stomach and induces weight-loss in 3 ways: Creates a small stomach pouch that fills with just a little amount of food (causing a sensation of fullness ) Squeezes the stomach like an hour glass keeping food in the stomach pouch (prolonging the sensation of fullness ) Suppresses or takes away the appetite
42 Once the Band is positioned in the correct place on the stomach, the wall of the stomach is sewn over the top of the Band to help keep it in the right location
43 The fill port of the Band is placed under the skin and fatty tissue on the abdominal wall (the muscle layer of the belly). It is usually placed above and to the left of the umbilicus (belly button), however other locations may be used by your surgeon depending on your situation. Port located under skin on belly
44 Adjustable Gastric Band Saline (salt water) can be placed into the fill port which sits under the skin of the abdomen to make the band tighter or looser. This allows the surgeon to regulate the weight loss process. When saline is placed into the fill port, it causes the balloon on the inside of the band to inflate making it tighter on the stomach
45 Adjustable Band Facts Has been used in Europe and Australia for approximately 10 years with very good success. Medical studies in these countries have demonstrated that motivated and well selected patients are able to lose and keep off approximately 60% of their excess weight in the long-term. The most easily reversible surgical weight loss method. Also the only one that is adjustable. Is an option in patients who do not wish to permanently rearrange their intestinal tract or staple their stomach
46 Potential Complications of Adjustable Gastric Lap-Band Perforation of Stomach Malpositioning Abdominal Pain Heartburn Vomiting Inability to Adjust the Band Failure to Lose Weight Slippage Gastric Erosion Dilated esophagus Infection of System Fatigue or malfunction Death
47 Mostly Restrictive Procedures The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (known simply as the Gastric Bypass) is the most commonly performed weight loss surgery in the United States. It primarily causes weight loss by restricting the food intake, however there is a small amount of malabsorption that occurs with this operation.
48 The Roux-en-Y Procedure Normally, food enters the stomach through the esophagus and leaves through the duodenum. (Under the liver in this illustration.) Food is digested in the small intestine and then enters the large intestine before leaving the body. Liver Duodenum Small Intestine Esophagus Stomach Large Intestine
49 The Roux-en-Y Procedure The stomach is stapled into 2 pieces, one small and one large. The small piece becomes the new stomach pouch The pouch is 5% of the size of the old stomach, therefore holds much less food The larger portion of the stomach stays in place, however will lie dormant for the remainder of the patient s life.
50 The Roux-en-Y Procedure The beginning section of the small intestine (the jejunum) is divided using a surgical stapler approximately 3 feet from the end of the stomach.
51 The Roux-en-Y Procedure The section coming from the stomach is reattached to the small intestine ( A on the diagram) approximately 100 to 150 centimeters (3 to 5 feet) from the recently stapled end of the small intestine. B A Roux Limb This forms the Roux limb. " The Roux limb is then brought next to the pouch
52 The Roux-en-Y Procedure The end of the Roux limb is then attached to the newly formed pouch (red arrow) The Roux limb carries food to the intestines The Y limb carries digestive juices from the pancreas, gall bladder, liver and duodenum to the intestines The food and the digestive juices mix where the Roux limb and Y limb meet ( A ) Y limb A Roux limb
53 Roux-en-Y Facts Very effective in obtaining and maintaining long-term weight loss. At 10 years, the average patient will have lost about 70% of their excess weight and kept it off. Seems to be more effective in patients whose BMI is 50 or less. In heavier patients, late weight regain may be a problem
54 Potential Complications of Gastric Bypass Procedure Leak at one of the staple lines or bowel connections Abdominal infection or abscess Blood clot in the leg veins Pulmonary embolus (blood clot in the artery of the lungs) Bowel Obstruction or blockage Wound problems -- Infection, Hernia, Scar Narrowing of one of the intestinal connections Nausea and vomiting
55 Potential Complications of Gastric Bypass Procedure Anemia / Malnutrition Injury to the spleen, stomach, or esophagus Pneumonia Depression Flatulence/gas Diarrhea Failure to Lose Weight Vitamin Deficiencies Ulcers Death
56 Mostly Malabsorptive Procedures Long-limb Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch
57 Malabsorptive Procedures Performed by only select surgeons due to the complexity of the surgery and the longterm follow-up requirements Causes weight loss by limiting absorption by the small intestine of the food which is eaten (primarily fatty foods) Usually reserved for the most severe cases of Obesity
58 Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch A new small tubular stomach pouch is created by removing about 65-85% of the original stomach. This leaves most patients with a 4-8 oz stomach pouch About 80-90% of the small intestine is bypassed so that much of what is eaten is not absorbed or digested
59 Malabsorptive Procedure Facts The largest weight loss is usually seen with this procedure. At 10 years, the average excess weight loss is about 80%. Heavier patients (those with a BMI of more than 50) appear to have better results with this operation in the long term than other weight-loss procedures Complications can be more severe and frequent with this surgery than with others
60 Complications of Malabsorptive Procedures Leak at one of the staple lines or bowel connections Abdominal infection or abscess Blood clot in the leg veins Pulmonary embolus (blood clot in the artery of the lungs) Bowel Obstruction or blockage Wound problems -- Infection, Hernia, Scar Narrowing of one of the intestinal connections Nausea and vomiting Severe Heartburn/reflux Death
61 Complications of Malabsorptive Procedures Anemia / Severe Malnutrition Injury to the spleen, stomach, or esophagus Pneumonia Depression Flatulence/gas Diarrhea and loose bowel movements Foul smelling bowel movements Loss of too much weight Severe Vitamin Deficiencies Lactose intolerance Gallstones or Kidney Stones
62 Weight loss surgery All of these procedures can be performed either laparoscopically (several small incisions) or Open (one large incision). Make sure that your surgeon has expertise with weight loss surgery and has been specially trained to perform these operations, as these doctors seem to get the best results and have the fewest complications.
63 Open or Traditional Surgery A 10- to 15-inch incision is made so that the surgeon can place his/her hands and instruments into the abdomen to complete the surgery.
64 Laparoscopic Procedure 5 to 6 ¼ - ½ inch incisions are made to allow the surgeon to place a camera and instruments into the abdomen to complete the surgical procedure. The benefits of using these small incisions rather than 1 large one are: Less Pain Quicker recovery and return to normal activity Fewer complications Less noticeable scar Shorter hospital stay
65 Benefits of Weight loss Surgery Prevention of debilitating diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, and sleep apnea More energy and stamina Improved sense of wellbeing and selfesteem Extended life-span Actually cures most existing related medical problems such as diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, etc
66 Resolution of Medical Problems after Surgery N= year post-op Number Prior to Surgery % Worse % No - change % Improved % Resolved Osteoarthritis Hypercholesterimia GERD Hypertension Sleep Apnea Hypertriglyceridemia Peripheral Edema Stress Incontinence Asthma Diabetes Average 1.6% 7.6% 35.1% 55.7% 90.8% Improved or Resolved
